    PDC Wedding-Where to Honeymoon?

    in Honeymoon Talk

    Posted

    Great, we are definitely considering staying in Mexico now. I appreciate all the responses. We can:

    1. Stay in PDC
    2. Go to Cozumel
    3. Go to Isla Mujeres
    4. Go to Tulum

     

    Let me know if you have any advice on where to stay. Interested in a smaller hotel near activities, snorkeling, diving, etc. Thanks!

    Also - how are you transporting all your guests? We are going to get buses but have to find good pricing options since we'll need two buses and limos too!
    We decided to go with the 6pm time. I know it will be later, but we are doing photos before so we can go straight to partying. :)

    We are working with Weddings in Cancun. They have arranged group transportation at very affordable rates. I highly recommend them! Let me know if you want their contact information. I'm not sure of the company they are using.

    Who cares what other people think, its YOUR day and the only other person's approval you need will be waiting for you at the end of the aisle regardless wink.gif

    So obviously I am not covering mine LOL

    I agree completely! I may get another one on my back before the wedding too.... :)

    PDC Wedding-Where to Honeymoon?

    in Honeymoon Talk

    Posted

    We are trying to decide where to honeymoon after our wedding in Playa del Carmen this November. We will only have about 4-5 days after we leave PDC, so it should be somewhat close by and affordable. We love outdoor activities, adventure, and small hotels/resorts rather than an all inclusive. Please let us know if you have any other suggestions. We are just in the early stages of planning.

    Where did you buy your fake bouquets?

    Absolutely! I am so happy we are doing real touch flowers. It is saving me money and time looking for flower vendors in mexico, as well as worrying about wilting flowers on the day of...plus we get to keep them! :) Thank you BDW gals!

    Great point! I know I have definitely had comments from guests and I'm sure many people on this forum are experiencing the same thing.

    She would respond to my messages in less than a few hours, and asked me questions to make sure she made it the way I liked it. She just sent me proof pics of my bridesmaid bouquet, 2 hair flowers, corsage, and 2 bouts. And I heart them :)

    Thank you so much for posting this! I was looking for an affordable dress my BMs could wear several ways. I had previously found the twist dress on dessy.com, but I think these are just as cute and are much cheaper! :)

    Please let me know what your girls think of them and what they look like in person!

    Reception: Kool Beach Club vs Blue Parrot

    in Destination Wedding in Riviera Maya, Cancun & surrounding areas

    This was really helpful! I feel like we are making a good decision for our group to be at Blue Parrot. We have a smaller group, staying next to Blue Parrot at Playa Palms. We are going to do a heavy hors d'oeuvres reception in the VIP lounge with a mariachi. We just returned from our site visit. The tasting and service was amazing. We were worried about the noise so we went back later that night. Yes, it does turn into a club and its noisy. But the DJ was playing good music, people were dancing and the fire show was good too. I think our group will really enjoy it. Plus, we wont have to hire a DJ or other entertainment.
